I'm curious how a generation of us grew up curious what a computing machine could do, just because it had all those fancy keys to press. They pushed us into creating stuff.

But these days, we have smartphones with a hundred times more computing power, but it fails to trigger any creative curiosity into kids these days.

Maybe I'm wrong, but is there any co-relation with how many ways the device could interact with the operator vs the level of creative curiosity it triggers?
